 No teeth. D. 16. A. 18. 



(Linnean name.) (Modern name.) 



Balistes vetula (cotype). Balistes vetiila. 



(Ed. xii.) 



(127) Skin, 11| in. long, in good condition, without label or

(128) Skin, 13| in. long, in good condition.

Referred to in Corresp. Linn. i. p. 305 as " Mud-fish no. 11." 

 Messrs. Goode & Beau (p. 204) refer this specimen to the 

 1763 collection. The number on the specimen is now nearly 

 effaced, and it may be taken for 4 or 11 ; but in Smith's time 

 it was evidently distinct enough to enable him to identify the 

 specimen without difficulty. 



Pteroplatea maclura. 



(129) Skin, 9| in. broad, well preserved. 



Garden's label : No. 37. Raja. Nostratib. Maid. 

 Referred to in Corresp. Linn. i. p. 306, as " No. 38. Raja." 

 Left unnoticed by Linne. 



C. Consignment of 1763. 



Scomber hippos (type). Caranx hippos. 



(130) Skin, 11 in. long, in good condition. 



Garden's original label is lost, but " No. 16 " was written by 

 him on the specimen. 



Mounted on a sheet of paper, like specimens of the 1760 

 consignment ; labelled by Linne at the top of the sheet 

 " SCOMBER," and at the bottom ''■ ehri/snnis:' 



Believed to be referred to in Corresp. Linn. i. pp. 311, 312; 

 but the specimen may possibly be one of the 1760 consignment.

 the preceding, by Linne " SCOMBER'" at the top of the sheet, 

 and '■^ chrj/surus " at the bottom. 



Referred to in Corresp. Linn. i. pp. 311, 312; and by 

 Goode & Bean, p. 204.
